I am an American living in Kherson throughout the war and I therefor follow related things in Washington very closely. I am surely not an expert on politics but I sense a strong positive shift recently in Washington as evidenced by the final approval of the $61B and the permission to use American weapons such as the HIMARS in Russian territory near Kharkiv. I think that this shift will continue and increase in momentum. If I did not think this, I would not still be here in Kherson. Great discussion.

The left has deemed (and I’m not letting the right off the hook here) Russia a threat to globalism and has wanted them broken since the late 90s. They won’t let up till it’s finished. Now, how much and how often is the question. People forget, after the Warsaw Pact breakup the US closed 7 out of 8 defense manufacturers. We have limitations as well. Some of these missiles can take over two years to make.

Sean Bell is very informative i would love to ask him one why do we let the Russians know what every country is supplying at least let them guess for a little while, seems to by announcing are aid packages it gives the Russians a chance to prepare because it can take weeks and months for some of the weapons to arrive, i don't remember this happening in any other conflict secrecy always seemed like part of the strategy, i know the the Russian have decent intelligence but damn at least make them work for it. Anyway just a thought.

If I were Russia, I wouldn't make battle plans around what they hear on YT, or read in the media.

Sean Bell is an erudite and well informed spokesperson. This is an interesting and well balanced interview. Thank you Times Radio. 👍

Putin is removing all the Generals involved, and they will for sure talk amongst themselves to remove Putin. Without Putin the war will end and the generals will keep their jobs. Dictators have acquaintances never friends.

WWII Tanks? Early to mid Cold War yes, but I haven't heard of any KVs or T34s seen on the battlefield yet.

[@JamesStreet-tp1vb]

Russia is using T55's and T62's. I don't know if it's even possible to use the T34's unless it's in the Russian "victory" day parade.

Russia cant emulate a western weapon: the think tank...

[@gregparrott]

I appreciate Marshall Bell's well balanced perspective. The 'what if' scenario - providing all the weapons immediately rather than progressively, seems like a futile exercise. That's because we'd only be speculating about Putin's response. If the west provided a decisive advantage from the outset, it seems likely that Putin would declare FULL mobilization of well over a million Russians. The west's rapid, escalatory actions would provide the rationale for him to say it's necessary. I doubt Ukraine by itself would have survived if a full Russian mobilization occurred in the first few months. Given this possibility, the measure, incremental approach to arming Ukraine appeases Putin just enough for for him to allow his forces to be slowly bled dry.

[@garyddlewis3067]

Interesting, the economic aspect is Russia main weakness.

[@blackterminal]

Please be accurate. Not 2nd world war tanks. Cold war 1960s tanks.

[@Jim-tj1xn]

Hundreds of tanks built in 1944/45 were refitted in the 50s, then put in stockpiles, and are now being used in Ukraine to Ukraines delight.

[@karlhayes1077]

Given how the war is going and the fact that Russia have struggled to make any real gains in 2 years , if you exclude the nuclear threat ( not easily done) how does Putin think he can threaten the might of NATO ?

[@plum_bit]

@@strangeke7750 The idea is to give Ukraine money now, then we pay back ourselves using the interest generated from the frozen assets. That interest, I assume, would be reinvested for 40 years. It's basically making Russia pay for Ukrainian defence

[@strangeke7750]

@@plum_bit I’m pretty sure the interest will be given to ukraine while the interest earned will be given to the countries forking out the cash while the value of the money will stay the same. So by the time its time to pay russia back the overall value of money eill be less in 40 years so that 300 billion might be worth the equivalent of like 10 billion. Thats what i meant. Or thats what i hope. Lol.
